Tim McCarver will be working a record 24 t h World Series, and 16 t h with Joe Buck, beginning with Game 1 on Wednesday night at Fenway Park. But in Fox's annual World Series conference call earlier this week, McCarver made it clear that he doesn't want this Fall Classic to be about anything but the Cardinals and Red Sox. When asked his feelings about retirement and these being the final games he'll ever do behind the microphone, McCarver made a quick request.

With the end of his remarkable career now in sight, Matt Lippincott can reflect on where it all began for him. He got off to what you might call a big start. "I started football when I was in second grade, but I was too heavy to play with the other second-graders so they moved me up to play against fifth-graders," Lippincott, Lehigh's senior starting center, said. "This was Williams Township Rams football. My father was the coach. "My dad had to sign things that asked him if he accepted the risk of me playing against fifth-graders when I was only in second grade.

It took Michelle Adler six months to be able to talk about her son's birth without bursting into tears. Her boy, George, is now 18 months old and doing well. But the way in which he was brought into the world is one Adler says she wishes on no mother. Adler, who recently moved to Allentown from Rome, N.Y., was induced into labor at 41 weeks, was on the drug Pitocin for 14 hours, and ended up having a Cesarean section. Her son swallowed amniotic fluid and nearly suffocated, she said, and had to be rushed from the operating room immediately after he was delivered.

Gilberton Police Chief Mark Kessler, who is under fire for profanity-laced YouTube videos about gun rights, said this week on his radio show that the media attention has brought death threats to his door and borough hall. "I couldn't tell you how many death threats I received," he said Monday on "The Chief Kessler Show" on Spreaker.com. "I couldn't tell you how many death threats that they have been receiving at borough hall where I work. " He continued, "This is what you're going to get if you stand up for the Constitution today.

The attorney for embattled Gilberton police Chief Mark Kessler compared the style of Kessler's controversial YouTube videos showing the gun-toting, profanity-spewing chief to that of shock jock Howard Stern. Like the controversial personality who moved his show to satellite radio to avoid censors, Kessler uses vulgar language and coarse behavior to draw attention to his main issue: the right to bear arms, attorney Joseph Nahas of Frackville said Friday. Kessler's videos, he said, are protected under the First Amendment.

In a YouTube video with nearly 20,000 hits, Gilberton police Chief Mark Kessler fires restricted weapons in a profanity-riddled monologue off an old stripping road in this tiny coal region borough. Despite the ensuing media stir and calls to Borough Hall the video generated Tuesday, Mayor Mary Lou Hannon said she saw no reason to discipline Kessler, who said he made the video to draw attention to gun rights. Hannon noted he did it on his own time and violated no laws. "Each member of council, each employee and each citizen is not only entitled to their own political opinions, but also the right to express them," she said in a prepared statement.

When we feel like splurging in the summertime, we go to a convenience store and get one of those big, jumbo-sized cups, load it with ice and fill it to the brim with unsweetened iced tea. Some places even have a little lemon for you, or those little packets of lemon juice. Few things are as refreshing on a hot, steamy summer day, and we've sure had our share of those lately. For us, the experience of our favorite cold drink just got a lot better. We were filling a 44-ounce cup with iced tea at a Wawa convenience store, when one of the employees discretely fed us a valuable tip. "Psst," he said, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one else was listening.

An excerpt from the Declaration of Independence reads as follows: "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. " Too bad many of our politicians don't believe these words to be true of them. Examples include a majority of the governed do not want Obamacare but do want background checks for gun purchases. We the American people share the blame because we keep re-electing these same politicians while at the same time blaming them for the mess we're in. My fellow Americans, we need to wake up and demand that our elected officials listen to us instead of following the party line.
